Updates updates!

Haven't been scrapping for the past few weeks and I totally have lost time to do put my LOs to life. Hmm! This blog is turning out to be a photography blog!

I joined Metrophoto's shoot for BE (Greenhills, Glorietta, and another branch.. oops, sorry slipped me) last Saturday. You can see some of my newbie shots here. Fast forward - after our shoot for some college students earlier today, we (Tania, Irma & myself) did some posing to complete a few studio layouts for BE. We're no models so pardon the poses. I have YET to post our personal BE shots but anyways, here's one that I like (and probly the only one at that hahaha). One thing I can say though is that, I need to lose weight!!! Seriously and fast. Lol!

I sorta subdued the colors in photoshop, thus making it look circa-like (or something hehe). Love the cheeky shades in this photo (thanks, Tania!). What do you think?

Nicholas & Zsarina

Birth pains. Learning curve. All brand new. I had my first prenup shoot last Saturday at the Manila Hotel with Metrophoto. Our beautiful clients, Nick & Zsai posed shyly as we took their pre-wedding photos. Here are unofficial cuts from my side of the viewfinder. Do watch out for the final shots from our company's website or you may check out our blog too.

10th Wedding Anniversary

Cutting it short, we had to cancel our Boracay getaway because of the typhoon. Hey, things actually turned out fine even if we had to resort to Tagaytay. We were walk-in guests at the Discovery Country Suites Tagaytay. We were fortunate enough to get a room and even more favored after finding out that the rates were off-peak. After viewing some of the hotel's beautiful suites, we decided to get the master suite of the house, the Oxford Suite. The rest is history. Hehe.

I actually couldn't start to describe the place. Except that it was a venue for pure sheer relaxation! Twas perfect for 2nd time honeymooners like us lol. Hubby and I just had fun being with each other, savoring the perfect chilly weather and being wacky almost half of the time, and the other half, I can't share with you. Haha :-)

Here are a couple of our favorite photos from our stay at the hotel.

One Vain Oscar

My hubby has had this oscar since last year and I've only come to appreciate it last week after taking its photos one lazy weekend morning. What can I say. This oscar is so vain that once it sees my camera, the thing just swirls, turns and even looks straight onto the lens then strikes a pose. Lol! Here are two of his best shots.. haha. You can check out more fishy photos here.

Metrophoto - Saturday Shoot

We had the opportunity to do a photoshoot for Ms. Faith Cuneta and a new teen model, Patty (sorry forgot her last name) last Saturday. We had it in our newly built studio :) Hey, hey, hey, Metrophoto is totally up and running! Oly, you're one great photographer! Idol! Lol :)

I'll post some photos of Faith and Patty when I get home. Meantime, lemme share with you this photo .. I really like it (even with my flaming nostrils hahaha).

Alley Bar & Grille

Who would have thought that AF points need to be defined and set correctly for the camera to focus where you want it to.. Hihihi. I had my first official food photoshoot this evening and I really don't know if I should be happy or what. Haha. Tawa na nga lang.

Here are some photos taken earlier at Alley Bar and Grille. Oh thank God Oly came (kahit late!!! hehe) and did the more important shots. Haayy, nite-nite!

Still Here!

Almost lost touch this week (my last post was last Friday!) woah. Not that it's a big deal lol. Anyways, I've been up and about this week, wondering why my schedule is full. Thank God there's still time to fit everything in.... (wife, mom, work, artist, ministry.. wow)

What kept me up in the wee hours of the morning: layout, layout, layout. Argh. I sometimes feel like I've gone to an obnoxious rust when it comes to layouts, spreads and all that. Did (rather finished) a 40-page album for Chax and also finalized everything for my friend Lala's wedding guestbook. I used to do a lot of these 5-6 years ago when we had our computer shop. But it came to a halt when I started working in the company I'm in now. So anyways, I sure sure sure hope the two projects I did turned out fine. Chax's album alone went to the mill four times for me to come up with the final one... and Lala's guestbook, I revised twice. What is up with me?! I'm off to the printer this weekend to have Lala's printed. Will post photos on that :)
